Lot Description

1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 64-t. Rarity-1. Large planchet. EF-40 (PCGS). 154.7 grains. 29.7 mm. Glossy light brown with a notably unflawed obverse, lacking the heavy pits and planchet texture usually seen at central obverse. Some planchet texture is noted on the central reverse, but it is confined to a relatively small area. Well struck, fairly well centered. The crack beneath CAE is fairly well formed here, but swelling has not begun in earnest, Die State 2. The reverse is perfect, Die State 1. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 767847 and 509. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
